Province V

Connie OttProvince V Representative

Province V consists of 14 dioceses and is often referred to as the Diocese of the Midwest. It is comprised of the states of Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and a small piece on the eastern side of Missouri including St. Louis. The dioceses are diverse. Many are small and scattered over a large area geographically without any major metropolitan area. Others have major population centers and a heavy urban culture. They are also diverse in the presence of organized women’s groups, though we did have representation from 11 of the 14 dioceses at Triennial Meeting 2015.

Communication is my top priority for the next three years and I look forward to that challenge as I learn about all the dioceses and meet the women there.
